misfit72ford Posted March 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I don't travel by air often but I know all about the 311 bag rules so my question is about the bag itself. I am decanting my products and bought one of the "TSA approved" zipper top, clear bags. I checked it against a quart size zip bag and they hold the same amount. Has anyone had trouble with these bags at security? I am going to take a ziplock just in case however I like the fact that this is sturdier than the ziplock. I have an 6:30 am flight so I want everything to be smooth. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been on about 50 flights both in and out of the US without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted March 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 26, 2018 We have used the ziplock bag from time to time and not had problems. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted March 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I use both, they work well. I like the zip one & DH prefers the qt size press close bag Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizmark'sMom Posted March 26, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 26, 2018 They both work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted March 26, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 26, 2018 bought one of the "TSA approved" zipper top, clear bags. I checked it against a quart size zip bag and they hold the same amount. As long as it's the same size as or smaller than the allowable quart size, you'll be fine. Problems are when you try to use larger bags. I'm cheap and just use a ziploc but I've known plenty of people who've used heavier "tsa approved" clear bags - assuming you mean something like this? https://smile.amazon.com/Toiletry-Airport-Airline-Compliant-Backpack/dp/B076D78V8J/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1522084161&sr=8-11&keywords=tsa+approved+toiletry+bag Wording on the TSA site only says "1 quart size resealable bag" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted March 26, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I use "freezer" zip-locs" ....they are sturdier than a regular storage bag. I rarely need to "de-cant" anything....most cosmetics are well under the 3.4 oz limit....bigger items, like lotion or shampoo, deodorant, etc...simply goes in the checked luggage. I only carry-on makeup and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
